The secret in their eyes: A review of the recessus orbitalis, a unique structure of flatfishes. [PDF]

J Anat
The recessus orbitalis is an organ responsible for projecting the eyeball above the level of the head and is uniquely present in flatfishes. The organ consists of two interconnected chambers filled with interstitial fluid and is internally coated with smooth muscle fibers that act as a double‐pump system.
